I have no issues with Frawley, he gave us some good service over the years. Clark can GAGF though, soft as butter mebelieve ally and I hope his foot gets shattered into powder.

A mate of mine at the dees match said Clark was there and very vocal for the dees. Apparently jumped off his chair when Jonesy slotted through that goal.

I doubted it but have no reason no to believe him

His support on-field would have been more handy. Excuse me for not giving one [censored]

I cant hate Chip, he gave us years of very good footy including a rare MFC AA guernsey . I do think he will regret not staying at the club though and seeing success with his mates though.

And after seeing what Lumumba has brought to the MFC i am now leaning to saying thanks Mitch

He didn't give us years of very good footy at all - that is a myth. A reasonable footballer, yeah.

In his last 3 years, he was, at best, quite a good 'stopper'. He regressed from his all-Australian year and failed to show the required leadership that we needed.

His last 3 B&F finishes were 9th, 7th & 8th (in arguably, one of the worst performed teams of all time) And the match committee are more prone to recognise backman too - far more so in my eyes.

Granted, he had plenty of mates (nearly the whole list)

That doesn't mean he won't get back to his dashing best at Hawthorn (his dashing best was his all-Australian year)

Too many make excuses for Frawley yet won't make the same excuses for other players (he was "under siege" in the backline and all that - defending doesn't just happen in the last line of defence, it happens all over the ground) All our players could have been dubbed "under siege" - from 2012-2014).

Besides North getting PUMPED, the non-MFC highlight for me was Hird getting booed by the Swans fans when he went down to the bench in the last 5 minutes of the game. I hope this happens every week.

Leadership and Frawley in the same sentence does not compute.

As I said previously, I'm not unhappy about Frawley leaving regardless of how well he might play elsewhere.

If a player doesn't want to play for our club, do the best deal possible.

And one of Roos' great strengths is trading and dealing - he's quite good at that (as we're finding out) ^_^

Early note on Hawks vs Cats. Clark looks like he's lost some of that defensive intensity he had with us. Can still take a mark though.

And with that he just dropped a sitter directly in front.

Not sure I'd go that far. He got the crumbs from a shocking kick. Clark just scored because Frawley hadn't followed him back into the 50.

Clark can't mark and Frawley (though I don't mind him) can't spoil.

Will be found out this season.

Neither side looks very good today, mistakes leading to goals. Promising for the rest of us.

I'm not sure what to feel watching this. Frawley playing on Clark is just plain nutty.

Forgot Jared Rivers still plays for the Cats. This gets more bizarre by the second.

If I hear the words "Mitch Clark" and "courageous" in the same sentence again I will spew.

yeah i didn't really like the "it was courageous of him to spend some time away from the game". Would have been more courageous for him to come back to the club that showed him so much support

Posted

Does everyone know something I don't? Clark is being praised for [censored] us over and a couple months later going to a successful team

Courageous? I'm going to punch the TV in a second

Posted

TV off, kettle on, chocolates out.

Got it on the radio and doing some work now, but I just can't look at him.

He's eveyr bit as good as he was at Melbourne.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
